PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
• Never use this product as device for personnel protection.
• In case of using devices for personnel protection, use
products which meet laws or standards, such as OSHA,
ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in
each region or country.
• This product produces high voltages.
• Do not use this product in places where there may be a
danger of flammable or combustible items being present.
• To prevent electric shock and to conduct proper
discharge, be sure to ground a frame ground (F.G.)
terminal of a controller.
• Do not place hands near the discharge needle. Doing so
may cause electric shock.
• Since the tip of the discharge needle is sharp, take
sufficient care in handling the discharge needle, or
injuries may result.
• The high-voltage cable between the head and the high-
voltage unit must be fixed and the minimum bend radius
is less than R30 mm
R1.181 in
. In case of using at the
bend radius R30 mm
R1.181 in
or less and using at
moving part may cause fire and break down, etc. of the
high-voltage cable.
• Clean the discharge needle regularly (about once a
week). Otherwise, optimum charge removal performance
may not be achieved, and accidents or operating
problems may occur.
•
If this product is used in a confined space, ozone emitted
from this product may be detrimental. Be sure to provide
ventilation.
• Do not direct ionized air toward the face. Ozone may
cause irritation to places such as the nose and throat.
• When the product has been used under very high or low
temperatures, do not touch the product with a bare hand.
Failure to observe this caution can result in burn or injury.
Be sure to let the product cool sufficiently when touching
the product for maintenance or other purposes.
•
When using as a CSA and UL compliant product, use a CLASS 2 CSA/
UL certified power supply, or a CSA/UL certified power supply that
has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source as specified in CAN/
CSA-C22.2 No.60950-1/UL60950-1.
•
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
• Do not use this product for purposes other than electric charge removal.
• Do not use this product in environments which are outside the
specification range, otherwise operating problems or damage may occur.
In addition, the operating life of the product may become significantly
reduced.
• This product is a precision device. Do not apply a shock to it by dropping,
for example. Accidents or operating problems may occur.
• Never disassemble, repair or modify this product. Accidents or operating
problems may occur.
•
Do not throw this product in fire. It may explode or toxic fumes may be
generated.
• Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put
them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
• Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
• In case using switching regulator, be sure to connect F.G. terminal.
•
When connecting / removing the head or performing wiring or inspection
work, be sure to turn off the power first. Not doing so may result in
accidents, electric shock or operating problems.
• After connecting the cables, check that the connections are correct before
turning on the power. If the cables are connected incorrectly, operating
problems or accidents may occur.
• Do not use a cable with any damage such as cracks or splitting. Risk of
accidents and failure.
•
Avoid use in a location with significant steam or dust, or in a location
where the product may come in direct contact with water, oil, or welding
spatter.
• Do not touch the discharge needle with hard objects such as tools. If the
discharge needle becomes broken, it will not provide sufficient charge
removal performance, and moreover operating problems or accidents
may occur.
• During installation, fasten the product securely. If it is not securely
fastened or it is subjected to continuous vibration or shock, accidents or
operating problems may result.
• Power cable that are 0.15mm
2
or more and 30 m
98.425 ft
or less in total
length for wiring. Also, keep the wiring as short as possible in order to
prevent noise.
• When disposing of this product, treat it appropriately as industrial waste.
• After starting discharge, it takes 30 minutes approx. for charge removal
performance to stabilize. Therefore, wait 30 minutes before adjusting ion
balance.
• Use the correct combination of head, discharge needle unit and controller.
